Quartz is a media player that will let you play almost any file. It uses the codex that are on you computer already, or you can download the free codex pack from K-lite. Quartz utilizes the windows areo that is in windows vista/7. You can still uses quartz on xp but the background color will be black. Quartz has a skin able UI, with it's base objects, and up to 10 different "elements" can be added in, for additional graphics. We have also put in an Update System; it will ask if you want to check for an update, when you start.

We have put in a DesignShop. The DesignShop is a place where you can let you inner designer be free. It is a fast and easy way to make skins. With its drag able inter face you can easy make a skin with out ever having to code a config file, unlike other media players like win-amp.


"I have to thank all of my betas for testing this app out for two months before it was good and stable enough for it's RC1 release. There will be updates, often, so make sure that atleast once a week you allow the updater to run." ~ Ron Murphy

Posting Flash (.flv) Video on your web site

If you have been paying attention you have read the PCModer articles we wrote that explained how to create a Flash or .flv video, but how do you get it on your web site?? Well you may have tried to post the file alone and noticed that it will not play...Congrats on your effort, nice try but that won't work! You have to have a player on your site for Flash videos to play. There are a few out there you can pay for but we have a Free Flash Web player you can use. It is JW Player and works quite well.

You will need to get the "player.swf" file from JW player and put it on your site. Once that is done you simply put some HTML in your site code and then as if by magic your site is playing Flash Videos.

Here is some sample code for you to use:

<!-- START OF THE PLAYER EMBEDDING TO COPY-PASTE -->
<object id="player" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" name="player" width="600" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />

<param name="flashvars" value="file=YOUR_FLASH_VIDEO.flv&image=preview.jpg" />
<embed
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
id="player2"
name="player2"
src="/player.swf"
width="624"
height="352"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
flashvars="file=YOUR_FLASH_VIDEO.flv&image=preview.jpg"
/>
</object>
<!-- END OF THE PLAYER EMBEDDING -->

The preview.jpg is any picture you want in the window of the player when the video player loads and is not yet playing. The other options are fairly self explanatory. Getting Flash to play on your site can be confusing until you realize you need software on you site in addition to the flash file to get it to play. This is great if you do not want to have to depend on Youtube or some other provider to host your videos.
